Use the sentence from a narrative to answer the prompt. Did, did I make the team? In 1-2 sentences, explain why the writer should use an ellipsis instead of a comma. (2 points)
The writer should use an ellipsis instead of a comma to convey a sense of hesitation or uncertainty in the character's voice. The ellipsis indicates that the character is pausing, perhaps reflecting on their feelings or the significance of their question, which adds depth to the emotional context of the moment.
Use the sentence to answer the prompt. He read that “it took more than two years . . . for the case to tried in court and a verdict to be reached.” In 1-2 sentences, explain if the ellipsis is used in the paragraph to indicate a pause or an omission. Use details to support your answer. (2 points)
In the sentence, the ellipsis is used to indicate an omission. It shows that part of the original text has been left out for brevity, specifically the phrase "to be" before "tried in court," which is not necessary for understanding the context. This allows the reader to focus on the essential information without including every detail from the original source.
In 1-2 sentences, explain how to use an apostrophe to show possession for singular and plural nouns and to form contractions. (2 points)
To show possession for singular nouns, an apostrophe is placed before the "s" (e.g., "the cat's toy" indicates that the toy belongs to one cat). For plural nouns that already end in "s," an apostrophe is placed after the "s" (e.g., "the dogs' park"), while for plural nouns that do not end in "s," an apostrophe is placed before the "s" (e.g., "the children's playground"). Additionally, apostrophes are used in contractions to indicate omitted letters, as in "don't" (do not) or "it's" (it is).
